High risk. 4 critical or high findings in Network security and Security headers.

Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website www.it-world.eu represents a German-language IT service provider branding itself as a full-service IT partner. The site is built on WordPress with a range of common plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes modern web fonts, sliders, and tracking via Microsoft Clarity, suggesting a focus on user experience and analytics. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of security headers, indicates gaps in compliance and security best practices. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy restrictions, which is typical for European domains but limits domain trust verification. Overall, the site appears legitimate and business-focused but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business appears to operate in the IT services sector, targeting German-speaking clients seeking comprehensive IT solutions. The website's professional design and use of SEO tools suggest an intent to attract business customers. However, the lack of explicit contact information and legal pages may hinder trust and conversion. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided. The business model likely revolves around service contracts and IT consulting. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not discernible from the site content. The company maintains a moderate market position with room for improvement in transparency and compliance.

Security posture

Security posture is moderate but with notable deficiencies. The site uses HTTPS, but no security headers were detected in the provided data, which exposes it to common web attacks. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program. The absence of privacy and cookie policies raises GDPR compliance concerns. Tracking is limited to Microsoft Clarity, with minimal user tracking observed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site should implement security headers, improve privacy compliance, and establish formal security policies to enhance its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information and legal notices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a variety of plugins for SEO, caching, sliders, and fonts, indicating a standard CMS-based infrastructure. Performance is moderate with preloading and preconnect hints implemented. Mobile optimization appears good based on responsive meta tags and CSS. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags. However, the site lacks advanced security configurations such as security headers. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features to reduce risk and improve compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
